He is completely edible and is made up of Buttermilk cake with White Chocolate Mousse filling and fresh strawberries.

Curious George Cake

Curious George was a popular little guy this month! We had another George cake to create for a little guy who was turning 2.

This was a much simpler and smaller cake then the first one we did. I love the simplicity of it and of course Kyle did an amazing job hand painting and drawing George.

The cake was Vanilla with Vanilla Buttercream and fresh strawberries





Pool Cake

We created another pool cake, unfortunately we forgot to get pictures of the pool, but we also created a little snack shack, which turned out so cute!

The cake was Vanilla cake with White Chocolate Mousse filling and fresh strawberries.








Minnie Mouse cake

This cake was created for a little girl who was turning 3. She specifically asked for a Minnie cake with a purple bow. Minnie turned out super cute!

She was Chocolate cake with White Chocolate Mousse filling and fresh strawberries. Her nose was made out of rice krispy and her ears were cardboard covered in fondant.

Curious George cake and Cupcakes

A few weeks back we created a first birthday cake for a client who's little girl LOVES Curious George.

This cake was so much fun to create and see it all come together!

Everything on this cake is edible! Kyle hand painted all the furniture pieces on the bottom tier, hand painted the palm trees on the top tier, and hand-drew and painted Curious George and the balloons!! It came out just as we wanted, colorful, fun, and definately screamed George!

We took one of the scenes from the Curious George book where he paints the covered furniture in a room as animals and creates a whole jungle look.

We also created cupcakes for the guest to take home as favors and hand made each of the toppers that went with the cupcakes.

The cake was all Chocolate with our Chocolate Ganache, Oreos, and White Chocolate Mousse filling. We also created a small smash cake for the birthday girl!

The cupcakes were Chocolate with Buttercream and Red Velvet with Cream Cheese frosting.

Enjoy! I have to THANK Lindsey from BellaLu Photography again, she swung by and took some great pictures as we were in the middle of finishing the cake. Unforunately we were finishing this cake to the last minute, so she was unable to get some pictures of it completely finished, but our clients were kind enough to send us some pictures from the party.














We created some Yellow Hats, Bananas, and Curious George faces as toppers for the cupcake favors

More cakes

This past weekend was very busy! I had 4 cake orders, but unfortunately I only have pictures of 2 cakes, our camera broke, but I am really proud of these two cakes and for each event, everyone enjoyed them!

Train Cake:
My friend's son turned 3 last weekend and he loves train, so she asked if I could make him a train cake. It was a really fun cake to make, but had lots of little pieces to it!

It was a chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache and chocolate mousse filling and iced in buttercream.
The letters, the train and the tracks are all made out of fondant. Enjoy....



The other cake we did this weekend was for my daughters dance team from the Dance Zone. The theme for the recital this year is A Rockin' Hula Luau, so they asked me to make another surfboard cake with the team colors of red, black, and yellow.

The cake was chocolate and vanilla with chocolate ganache, oreo cookie, and white chocolate mousse filling all frosted in buttercream and decorated with fondant.

Birthday Cakes

Here are several cakes that I made for 4 different birthday parties this past weekend. It was a crazy, very busy time, but each cake came out great and I was so happy with each one. They were all different and I had so much fun designing and creating them!

I have to first mention and thank my friend and talented photographer Lindsey from BellaLu Photography who was so sweet to come over and take a ton of pictures for me! Please check out her site....amazing!

This first cake was for a client's son who is really into Bakugan, a Japanese cartoon/game. I'm still not sure exactly what Bakugan is, but looked at the website and this is the design I came up with. I love it, clean, and the letters were fun!


The flavors were chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling, covered in a dark fudge buttercream (dyed black) and decorated with fondant letters, flames, and stripes. From what I have been told, he loved the cake!






This was for a little girl who was turning 6 and she wanted a pool cake.
Once again, a chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse filling. The cake was iced in a vanilla buttercream and the pool and all the accessories were made with fondant. I ended up painting the diving board and slide orange, which made them stand out a little more.

I saw her a couple of days after her party and she runs to me and
says, " I Looooovvveeeddd my pool cake!" There is something very special about creating kids birthday cakes...the appreciation they show is unlike any other!






This next cake was so much fun to make and I love the way it came out...in fact I will be doing this same cake (different colors) for my daughters dance team beach party next weekend....so stay posted!

This was for a 1st birthday party, the family is Hawaiian and wanted a summer/beach cake.

This was a chocolate cake and a chocolate/vanilla marble cake with chocolate mousse filling. It was frosted in a bright pink buttercream and accented with fondant flowers and royal icing.


Sorry for the messy looking cake board....I had to add that at the last minute, the cake turned out heavier then we thought and I couldn't cover the cardboard.

This last cake was made for a very special man in my life...my son who turned 5 this past week! Yes, I thought it would be a great idea to not only do 4 cakes in one weekend, but also host a birthday party!

He loves Star Wars and requested a R2D2 cake. We did a lot of research online and decided to do a standing R2D2 cake, but just the top half of him. The amount of cake needed was way to much to do the full body. Kyle did the majority of the carving, drawing, and cutting out the fondant details. When Landon woke up the morning of his party, the first thing he asked was, "Where's my cake?" He loved it!

The head was made of styrofoam and covered in fondant, the top half of his body is vanilla cake with lemon curd filling and the bottom half is chocolate cake with oreo cookie filling. We covered it in fondant and all the decorations are fondant. Delicious!
